We've been shown the pictures on TV here for about 2 weeks now and today an appeal was launched (at last).

It's the old trouble though - getting the supplies through to the poor people who need them - without huge amounts being skimmed off for the bureaucrats.

Even so I've phoned through my donation and hope to God some of these people live through this horrendous time. Reminds me very much of Ethopia - all those years ago when Bob Geldoff organised Band Aid.

Thanks for starting this thread PCB - I hope more and more people become aware of what is going on there.
